TSXV: CSTR

TORONTO, Jan. 13, 2021 /CNW/ – CryptoStar Corp. (TSXV: CSTR) (“CryptoStar” or the “Company“), a cryptocurrency mining and data centre operator, is pleased to announce it has signed a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI“) with a Hong Kong based company (the “Vendor“) effective January 12, 2021 to acquire GPU miners in exchange for common shares of CryptoStar (the “Transaction“).

Highlights of the proposed Transaction:

  • Under the terms of the LOI, it is anticipated that CryptoStar and the Vendor will enter into a binding agreement (the “Definitive Agreement“) pursuant to which the Vendor will deliver GPU miners (containing the latest generation GeForce RTX 3000 Series GPU cards), capable of a combined minimum total Hashrate of 85,680 MH/s.
  • The deployment of 85,680 MH/s of Hashrate using the latest generation GPU miners is expected to contribute 142.80 ETH or USD$145,473.22 per month in self-mining revenue for CryptoStar. CryptoStar plans to continue to expand its self-mining inventory of mining hardware. (Source: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth.

  • GPU miners are capable of mining cryptocurrencies like Ethereum’s ether (ETH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Zcash (ZEC), Monero (XMR) and many others.
  • The agreed upon aggregate consideration under the proposed Transaction will be satisfied by the issuance of 20,000,000 common shares of CryptoStar at a deemed value of C$0.10 per Share (which includes finder’s fees of 1,132,075 common shares) subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“).
  • Upon entering into the Definitive Agreement, it is anticipated that the GPU miners will be delivered to CryptoStar’s data centres within 14 days.

David Jellins, President and Chief Executive Officer of CryptoStar states, “We are delighted that the Vendor has selected CryptoStar as its preferred client for the supply of this highly sought-after GPU mining equipment. We are looking forward to self-mining on a larger scale and we anticipate that this will be the beginning of a long term and mutually beneficial relationship.”
